Hummingbird Hearingcare are hear for you
Look after your hearing, look after your health.
Samuel and Eleanor Owen, the husband-and-wife team fronting Hummingbird Hearingcare who are seeking to to combat the stigma surrounding hearing loss, are teamed up with BBR Opticians in Oswestry to run weekly clinics delivering the very best in hearing health care.
Audiologist Samuel Owen RHAD CECHAA MSHAA talks about the importance of your hearing health, and how you can take good care of it.
Did you know?
- Over 40% of people over 50 years old have hearing loss
- 71% of over the age of 70 have a hearing loss
Audiologist Samuel says, “Having qualified as an audiologist in 2007, following my years of experience working in hospitals, GP surgeries and private clinics, and having treated many hundreds of clients, I can absolutely assure you that hearing loss isn’t something you have to live with. Several recent studies have established that hearing loss, even when mild, is linked to cognitive decline in older people – simply put, if you leave a hearing loss untreated, you more than double the risk of developing dementia*, as the brain has to redirect more energy to hearing rather than to processing the meaning of what was said”.
In light of the results of new medical research, Hummingbird Hearingcare recommends that people over 60 years have annual hearing health checks in order to monitor, and, if required, address any hearing impairment.
“People have their eyes tested and their blood pressure checked so why not have your ears checked,” said Eleanor. “When people are fitted with hearing aids their eyes light up. We always get a lovely reaction”.

A FREE 15-minute hearing health check is a quick and easy way to find out how well your hearing is functioning.

Una Health and Fortress Diagnostics are partnering with the Department of Health & Social Care in the Real Time Assessment of Community Transmission (REACT) Study into COVID-19. The REACT study is being led by Imperial College London and Ipsos MORI and is looking to understand how many people are currently infected, or have been infected, with the COVID-19 virus.
Peter Lucas, who heads up Pathology at Una Health, said, “We have worked with Fortress for a number of years and know that their diagnostics kits are held in high esteem across the world. We are delighted to be involved in this study as we look to understand the spread of this virus and, ultimately to save lives.”
Having antibodies against the SARS-CoV-2 virus, in theory means that a person’s immune system will be able to identify, target and fight off the infection if the person is re-infected. The exact strength of the immunity these antibodies may provide is still unspecified due to the unknown nature of how significantly the virus mutates. Having a trusted method to diagnose the presence of these antibodies is crucial and that’s why Una Health are working closely with Fortress Diagnostics to bring you the most accurate possible diagnostic solution throughout the pandemic.
So far, research has identified antibodies with specificity to surface proteins of the SARS-CoV2 virus in people who tested positive for the virus, but despite the speed of progress, it has yet to be proven whether these antibodies are capable of conferring immunity to someone subsequently re-exposed to the virus, and if so, for how long that immunity would last. Nonetheless, the presence of antibodies in the bloodstream can be used as an indicator of what percentage of the population has been exposed to SARS-CoV2. This information could prove to be vital when determining safety measures in workplaces and across the UK.
We are pleased to be supporting Imperial College London during the next stage of the REACT study whereby they will be testing over 200,000 people nationwide for COVID-19 antibodies. This phase of testing, which will continue to detect the prevalence of SARS-CoV-2 in England, could help the UK plan the most effective strategy to see us through the pandemic.
Being able to provide a trusted, easy to use testing method for antibodies throughout the pandemic has been a priority and we are proud to be working alongside Fortress Diagnostics to bring the ‘antibody test of choice’ directly to healthcare and workplace settings.
The rapid Antibody tests supplied have been vigorously tested and proved to be robust, practical and easy to use.
We are now also supplying the Fortress Fast Rapid Antigen Test, for rapid detection of COVID-19 antigen. The Fortress Fast Antigen Test is an accurate test that detects COVID-19 infection. Visually read results in 15 minutes with no instrumentation or additional equipment required. For further information contact enquiries@unahealth.co.uk.
Creating precious memories in a virtual world
HAZEL’S STORY
The comfort, wellbeing and happiness of our customers are the number one priorities at our sheltered schemes, and ensuring residents are enjoying their free time is key to our success. This is increasingly challenging during the Coronavirus pandemic, with limited opportunities for social interaction.
So, when Damian, the co-founder of mental health charity MancSpirit, gave us the opportunity for our customers to take part in a virtual art class, we jumped at the chance. This wonderful charity provided all the arts materials and the online tutor, for which we are very grateful.
Our aim is for everyone to be able to get involved as much as they can. Some residents struggle with simple tasks and may worry that they wouldn’t be able to take part. However, the carers at the scheme were convinced that it would be something everyone would enjoy.
Damian suggested that it may be a good idea to have some volunteers who could spend time with residents on a 1 to 1 basis, and our carers were more than happy to oblige.
The difference this made was overwhelming in the most positive way. One customer, Hazel, became focused, very happy, obviously enjoyed the class and was more than happy to sit and learn for almost two hours, something that had not happened in a very long time.
Other than the beautiful piece of artwork she created, Hazel started to talk about her past, where she had lived, work she had done, her childhood and areas she has lived previously. It was a wonderful moment, and this new-found confidence continues to this day.
Damian said: “To see Hazel smiling, singing and sharing stories of her past is really humbling to be a part of. It’s moments like this that makes all the hard work of running the MancSpirit charity so worthwhile’.
Hazel’s story is just one of thousands of stories about how our carers go the extra mile to look after our customers.

For the best in care in Staffordshire look no further than the Avery group of homes in the county. Avery are a company that invests heavily in on-going staff training, to ensure that knowledge, competency and expertise are continually enhanced, so that the residents receive the highest quality of care and support.
Both individual staff and the company have won training awards in 2017, evidencing the progress and achievement of the internal training programmes that the company provides. From a bespoke Apprenticeship in Care, Care Certificate, NCF to Level 5, nurse revalidation, and market-leading Advanced Senior Carer Course now validated by City & Guilds; Avery is pushing forward to ensure that the quality of all its services is underpinned by the best trained staff in the sector.
There are homes in Stafford, Newcastle under Lyme, Stoke on Trent, Cannock, Rugeley and Lichfield, all delivering the best in care. There’s always a warm welcome from a friendly community and it’s truly all-inclusive with a clear single weekly fee, no matter how much care you need. There are three nutritionally planned restaurant quality meals a day with table service and menu choices, freshly prepared and using locally-sourced ingredients; refreshments throughout the day include hot and cold drinks, juices, fresh fruit and home baked cakes and biscuits. All of the homes are well equipped, with en-suite bedrooms, smaller more intimate lounges and dining rooms, and gardens to enjoy the outdoors. Some even have cafés, cinema rooms and hair salons.
Avery has a sector-leading Well-being programme to support resident mind, body and soul; dedicated Well-being staff provide a daily calendar of activities and entertainment, arranging visiting groups to bring interests in to the homes. This includes visiting pets and animals of all types, and even children from the local school, all of which have been found to have a beneficial effect for those in care or living with dementia. Each home also has its own minibus to take residents on regular outings to places of interest. Importantly, the Avery Well-being Programme includes measurement and outcomes, to evidence resident progress in the way they enjoy life.
To be well looked after, around the clock, in a safe and secure environment, by the best staff in the sector, and enjoying a supportive and active lifestyle, look no further than an Avery home.
